Text to Speech

After writing up a grey description of one of my photos, I asked my fellow arty type best friend Leah to record herself reading it, in one take. I chose to ask her as I wanted someone who hasn't seen the image, to look at how successful (or not) I was in communicating visual information through words.

With the idea of presenting the photo as a sound work, rather than image, I edited the sound clip and added a white space, with the intention of it blending into the white walls of the gallery space.
This was the result:


I then experimented with how tone of voice and emotion affects the communication. To do this I used google translate TTS, to create a flat, monotonous and continuous voice.
